Lifting vs. Calisthenics: Why You’re Still Weak, Tight, and Falling Apart

Weight Lifting vs. Calisthenics. People treat this like it’s some kind of holy war. Barbell bros on one side. Pull-up park ninjas on the other. But here’s the truth you don’t want to hear: You're probably doing BOTH wrong.

"I have been a member for over 14 years. I have torn both my ACL's in my knees when I was 17 and 24 years old. I am now 51, and I'm in the best shape of my life! Physically, mentally, and spiritually because of Steve Woolridge and krav maga. Not only do you get stronger, more flexible, have better coordination, you also learn how to defend yourself!! I would 100% agree with Steve that you will get into the best shape of your life and have fun doing it!!!"
